1969ref. 55917New York: Vantage Press 1969. First edition. Very good plus in a very good jacket. Garrulously inscribed first edition of this scarce self-published first-person account of life on the road with the Chicago Outlaws. Unassuming factory worker George "Rock Conte" Mitchell falls in with the notorious Chicago Outlaws seemingly out of nothing but curiosity: "I had never met or encountered anything which split my imagination as this group did." He published this account with Vantage Press at his own expense reporting credulously and forgivingly on the gang "many of the stunts they pulled off just didn't seem to make any sense . I had seen only one member smoke marijuana" some of whom were also seen and heard from in Danny Lyon's THE BIKERIDERS. Inscribing the book six years after publication Conte echoes the also presumably self-penned jacket copy in comparing his mission to that of John Howard Griffin in BLACK LIKE ME but OUTLAWS FOREVER brought no publicity to the divide between the straight world and that of the riders. Perhaps because HELL'S ANGELS had already claimed it all for Hunter S. Thompson several years before. OCLC locates just six scattered holdings. 8'' x 5.5''. Original black cloth boards silver stamped spine. In original unclipped $4.50 pictorial jacket. 8 pages of black-and-white photographs. 216 pages.

1987ref. 238301987. Ivan Velez Jr.'s Tales of the Closet issues 1 through 8 1987 to 1992 follows eight gay and lesbian teenagers in Queens through isolation family violence homophobia racism health pregnancy religion drug use and the fear of being outed. Published by the Hetrick Martin Institute as an educational comic for gay and lesbian young adults the series placed Puerto Rican Black white and Asian American teenagers within the same continuing narrative at a point when AIDS suicide and family rejection shaped the Institute's work with queer youth. Tony Vega Ramona Sinclair Mary Ryan Kyle Hooks Shorty Mancini Scott Lind Jenny Chin and Benjamin Kanas recur across the series allowing Velez to address sexuality alongside race class religion gender and family life through characters whose relationships develop from issue to issue. The present group contains the first eight consecutive issues of the nine issues eventually published between 1987 and 1993 lacking only the final issue and preserves nearly the entire original Hetrick Martin Institute run before Velez later returned to the work in collected form. Velez Jr. Ivan writer and artist. Tales of the Closet. New York: Hetrick Martin Institute 1987 to 1992. Near complete run of eight consecutive comic issues nos. 1 through 8 of nine published. 8vo. Original pictorial wrappers with black and white illustrated interiors. Velez's cover scenes range from the eight central teenagers carrying placards to figures confronting brick walls shattered surfaces urban streets and other graphic expressions of confinement and conflict. Interior thematic title pages organize individual installments around social problems encountered by the recurring cast and Hetrick Martin Institute publication statements identify the series as a "Graphic Book" project associated with lesbian and gay youth suicide prevention. The first issue dated "Summerfall 1987" bears the interior heading "isolation"; subsequent issues carry the narrative through themes including health pregnancy and religion. Issue no. 5 opens its "pregnancy" section with named character portraits and recounts friendships formed amid secrecy fear and threatened violence while no. 6 describes the protagonists as "a tight knit group of friends" confronting religion drug abuse and suicide. The Hetrick Martin Institute had been working with lesbian and gay youth in New York before Velez began Tales of the Closet and the comic translated that institutional mission into serialized narrative directed toward teenagers themselves. Contemporary coverage from the period describes Tales as written and drawn by Velez and following a multiracial multiethnic group of eight gay and lesbian teenagers while the series' original publication context placed copies directly within the Institute's youth outreach work. Velez's decision to sustain the same ensemble across multiple years gave subjects ordinarily isolated in educational literature a shared social setting: Tony's Puerto Rican family conflict Ramona's experience as a Black lesbian and the lives of Mary Kyle Shorty Scott Jenny and Benjamin allow questions of sexuality to unfold amid racial identity reproductive crisis religion violence addiction friendship and unstable family relationships. The AIDS crisis forms part of the immediate setting in which those subjects were being presented to young readers while suicide prevention appears within the publication program itself rather than as retrospective interpretation. The series remained unfinished after nine issues ending before Velez could publish the planned conclusion; he subsequently began collecting the original comics in 2005 with the intention of completing the narrative. Light toning to pulp paper stock as expected with minor edge wear rubbing and softening to corners; pictorial wrappers remain bright. Overall very good condition. A near complete consecutive run of the Hetrick Martin Institute's graphic outreach to lesbian and gay teenagers preserving eight years of Velez's recurring Queens cast as they confront queer adolescence during the AIDS crisis through a medium produced expressly for young readers. unknown books

With: The Regular Version without limitation. With the title-page as in the second version. "The Mary Sisler Collection was the most important private collection of works by Duchamp; and the exhibition a historical event. It was the first and the most inclusive Duchamp retrospective to be held by a private gallery in the United States" Schwarz. When Mary Sisler saw the first version of the catalogue she was incensed that her name was not only much smaller than Duchamp's but at the bottom of the title-page and demanded that the catalogue be withdrawn and be reissued. As a result surviving copies of the first version are extremely rare. Both deluxe editions contain an original print by Niki Ekstrom of a photograph of Duchamp and are from the original edition of 100 signed and numbered by Duchamp who also boldly wrote his name in brown marker on the cover of the suppressed version and put his signature and Mary Sisler's name in brown marker on the front cover of the replacement version. The first version comes from the collection of the publisher of the catalog Arne Ekstrom and is reproduced in Etant Donne No.10 p. 86.
